Welcome to Sandstone, Burl!

West Virginia, in its rich traditions and culture, nurtured an artistic sensibility in Burl Jones that would build into one of the country’s most respected careers in bronze sculpture. Born near Charleston, Burl excelled in academics and athletics, attending West Virginia University on a football scholarship, and graduating Summa Cum Laude from m the School of Dentistry in 1966.

A two-year stint in the United States Public Health Service brought him to the Flathead Indian Reservation in Montana. This exposure to Native American culture, western wildlife and frontier ethics would prove to be a major influence on his work.

His family shares his enthusiasm for nature, wilderness, and artistic creation. After 25 years of dentistry, Burl shifted gears to focus entirely on his sculpture. Clay and wax are his mediums now, and they provide a way of expressing his love for those interests that dominated his life. Wildlife, mountain men, Native Americans, fishermen, and hunters all come to have a life of their own under his skilled hands.

Over 200 original sculptures have been produced in limited editions and sold to collectors world-wide.
